Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Hidden Illness
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just like all of Chen Yu’s previous callers who had been diagnosed with mental illness.
The moment [Heaven Rewards the Diligent] heard that he had world-weariness, he subconsciously felt that it was unbelievable.
Although he had been full of ups and downs since he was young, he had overcome one difficulty after another with the belief in ‘hard work’.
He had gone from an impoverished family when he was young to a wealthy family now.
His assets might not be as crazy as [Silver Spear Little Tyrant]’s father, but no matter what, he was still one of the wealthiest people in the area.
Life was peaceful and beautiful, so why would there be worldweariness?
At the same time, his phone rang non-stop.
Chen Yu lightly coughed twice, interrupting [Heaven Rewards the Diligent], who was immersed in his memories.
“Dear patient, please answer the phone.”
“Oh, right. Answer the phone.”
He pressed the answer button.
“What?!”
His expression changed drastically the next second as he stood up from his chair.
“Oh, oh, oh… 1 see.”
“Don’t listen to her. I’m her father. 1 can make decisions for her.”
“Call the ambulance immediately and send her to the hospital for a full checkup.”
“If she gets internal injuries from this fall, it’ll be too late for regrets.”
“I’ll bear the expenses. Teacher, please comfort that student. She doesn’t have to worry about this matter.”
“I forgive her. Yes, just say this to her.”
After hanging up the phone, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that had formed from his fright.
“Dr. Chen, 1 don’t understand.”
“What does answering the phone have to do with whether I’m world-weary or not?”
After calming down, [Heaven Rewards the Diligent] could not help but ask in puzzlement.
The call was from his younger daughter’s school.
During the physical education class, his younger daughter played on a high platform with another student.
A classmate accidentally pushed her down.
Fortunately, the platform was only a foot away from the ground.
Other than some superficial wounds, there were no other obvious injuries.
After a simple bandage, the teacher prepared to send his daughter to the hospital for further examination, even though she insisted on not going to the hospital and thought it was just a simple bump and that there was no need to make a fuss.
After all, going to the hospital would increase the psychological burden on her classmates.
The school doctor also suggested that there was no need to go to the hospital as his daughter had no fractures or internal bleeding through her examination.
After saying the call’s content, [Heaven Rewards the Diligent] looked at Chen Yu without blinking.
“If they can’t contact you,” Chen Yu said calmly, “they’ll take the school doctor’s and your daughter’s advice and give up on calling an ambulance.”
“Half a year later, your daughter will be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment because of a sudden illness.”
“Wait a minute!”
[Heaven Rewards the Diligent] and asked uncertainly, “Dr. Chen, can I understand it this way? My daughter might have an undiscovered disease?”
“Your daughter indeed has a hidden illness,” Chen Yu affirmed with a smile.
[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]’s expression was solemn after hearing that.
As a businessman, his brain worked faster than the average person.
“How serious is my daughter’s condition?”
“A malignant tumor.”
[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]’s mind went blank.
He had never thought his younger daughter’s hidden illness would be so serious.
Not long after his wife gave birth to the little girl, she passed away due to various complications.
Now, Chen Yu had diagnosed his youngest daughter, whom he regarded as his life and blood, with a malignant tumor.
Why did the heavens treat him like this?
His wife had passed away more than ten years ago, and his daughter was now in danger.
“His daughter must be everything he has left.”
“Yeah, a daughter is a father’s little jacket.”
“No wonder Dr. Chen said that if he doesn’t answer the phone, he’ll be done for.”
“Uncle, don’t be sad. Your daughter has been sent to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.”
“That’s right, uncle. Things might not be as serious as they will be in the future.”
“Dr. Chen has helped many people. He will definitely help you.”
[Heaven Rewards the Diligent], who was in a state of pain and self-blame, looked at the comments in the chat like a drowning man clutching a life-saving straw.
Chat was right.
Chen Yu could clearly describe the matters of the first half of his life.
Chen Yu also predicted that his daughter would soon be diagnosed with a malignant tumor.
There must be a way to help his daughter eliminate her illness, right?
At the thought of this, he held his phone and said, “Dr. Chen, you must have a way to help my daughter, right?”
“Before my wife passed away, she repeatedly told me to take good care of our daughter.”
“If anything happens to my daughter, I really don’t know how to live.”
“As long as you can cure my daughter’s malignant tumor, you can ask for as much money as you want!”
“If one million isn’t enough, I’ll give you two million more until you’re satisfied!”
“There’s no need to be agitated, dear patient,” Chen Yu said calmly. “1 never said that I wouldn’t help you, nor did I think of abandoning your daughter.”
“I can help her get rid of her illness, but 1 can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.”
“What does this mean?” asked [Heaven Rewards the Diligent].
“I can help her once, but I might not be able to help her a second time.”
“Even if you find me in time the next time something happens, what about the third or fourth time?” Chen Yu asked.
[Heaven Rewards the Diligent] was dumbfounded.
Even if his daughter survived this crisis, would she still encounter all kinds of troubles in the future?
The child was only thirteen years old this year.
Why did the heavens give her so much misfortune?
“Your daughter’s continuous misfortune isn’t due to anyone else,” Chen Yu sighed. “It’s all because of you.”
“Me?”
[Heaven Rewards the Diligent] asked incredulously.
“Of course.” Chen Yu nodded and said, “You believe that your achievements today are inseparable from your tireless efforts and perseverance.”
“The saying ‘Heaven Rewards the Diligent’ perfectly describes the first half of your life.”
“Wait,” [Heaven Rewards the Diligent] interrupted. “You said that I was wrong, and describing it as a blessing and a misfortune coming hand in hand was more accurate.”
“Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand…!”
[Heaven Rewards the Diligent] trembled as he realized something.
“My daughter suffering from bad luck continuously is related to my good fortune?”
Crossing his arms, Chen Yu replied unhurriedly, “Think about it carefully. Is your life experience from when you were young closely related to those words?”
“I…”
[Heaven Rewards the Diligent] frowned.
He tried to recall some things from his childhood.
“Let me help you remember,” Chen Yu said. “Consider it a reminder.”
“Before your university entrance examination, your parents had already started preparing for your tuition fees.”
A moment later, he blurted out, “Dr. Chen, you’re absolutely right.”
“Ever since my parents started preparing for my university tuition fees, all the things that have happened to me are really blessings and misfortunes coming hand in hand.”
“My parents know very well that with my grades, there’s no problem for me to get into university.”
“There was still half a year before the university entrance examination, and they began to think of ways to raise money for my tuition fees.”
“I didn’t disappoint them and was admitted to an important university.”
“Just as our family was happily waiting for the admission letter, a fire burned down my house.”
“Even the money inside has turned into ashes.”
The complicated and bumpy life of [Heaven Rewards the Diligent] officially began at this moment..
